CBI boss writes to law ministry seeking clarity on role in choosing head of prosecution

He also pointed out contradictions in the sections related to the appointment of Superintendent of Police in the agency.  

“As per the amended Section 4C(1) in the DSPE Act, the Centre shall appoint SP-level and above officers (except the Director, CBI) upon the recommendations of the committee headed by the CVC that shall consult the Director, CBI.  “Contents of 4c (2) are not in consonance with the words used in amended 4C(1) i.e. the Centre shall appoint officers...,” Sinha said.

He suggested that for the appointment of Special Director and Additional Director-level officers, a panel of names of officers may be recommended by the said committee.
